Chivalry

I don't find it wrong. I mean, if the man is opening a door for you, that doesn't mean that a female should just get steamed up about it. Do you whether have a man who knows how to treat their woman right or what? I do that a lot for ladies & not one female got mad at me. If a woman wants to open the door for herself, it'll be nice to just let the guy know about it.

 

Chivalry is just outdated in today's world. Women aren't considered to be helpless or defenseless anymore, and it's not the man's responsibility to protect her. It's just not how it goes.

I do think that some of those things are courtesy for when you're on a date, like pulling the girl's chair out for them. To be honest, it's kind of sweet, but in excess it can be insulting, I agree.

 

I use chivalry for opening doors & to help them getting something when they need something. That's what I use chivalry for. I don't know who would use chivalry to test wine. Females can test it out for themselves I think. -__- & a man to put thier coat over a puddle? What if the coat is brand new? Wow. As for a robbery, the man would either hide them or just ditch the woman & child to save his own behind. Chivalry is little bit more common for opening doors I think.

 

A door? Really? That's a stupid thing to go on a rampage about. Although the coat on the puddle thing is kind of weird. Just step over it or go around the puddle, yo. No need to ruin your coat for it. Puddlewater is always gross and dirty. If I were a guy I would NEVER do that. EVER. Because my coat is warm and I paid for that!!! Anyways, it's all very sweet and stuff (except for the coat and puddle, that's just plain weird) but it's nothing to go gaga (Lawls, Lady Gaga) about.

 

Too many people in my town say Chivalry is dead... sad thing is it's not. There are the rare few, I one of the hapless romantics, that hold onto these beliefs. Like I would hold the door open and pull out the chair but for ordering I would ask them what they wanted. For the coat I would probably guide them around the puddle. As for protecting... hah ummm yeah... I would probably give my life to save someone I truly cared about, friend or loved one...

 

nowadays most "chivilry" is just opening a door for someone or the offering a seat thing. the door thing i'll do but the seat thing would only be for family or eldery. no way i'm giving up my seat to some random person without a reason.

 

Thats the kind of Chivalry I do. I'm just that nice. No matter what, I just do something really nice.

 

I'd like to think I practice chivalry to an extent. Holding doors, yeah I do it for everyone though. Toss a coat over a puddle, no (but only because my girl likes the rain ). Get women and children to safety during a robbery? I don't mind protecting people in general, but if someone else wants to step out and be the meat shield, then by all means. Pull out chairs, yeah, another kind thing to do.

Best damn morals to live by imho

 

I love it how hardly anyone in this thread can spell chivalry correctly, yet can go off on little tangents about it.

 

I can spell chivalry. I just spelled it now. And I'll do it again. CHIVALRY. Chivalry, chivalry, chivalry, chivalry, chivalry. They probably just messed up while they were typing.

 

I sure didn't mispelled chivalry either so don't even look at me. Also, living for freedom & things that are positive depends on the female & male. Mostly females I think. The females might want to go crazy & do something that you know is wrong or want you to go & cheat on your own spouse so chivalry goes either way for that part.

 

That sounded like some sexism right there.

That can easily be applied to men. You can't just say that women can go off doing things that are wrong, and give the impression that men are perfect little angels who don't put social restraints on women to prevent them from expressing themselves or develop over-blown and phallic based egos based on the fact that society trains little boys to think that they're naturally more dominant than their female counterparts.

 

That's also true Autopsy, but then there the names that people give to females who are terrible. Sluts, whores, b's, you name it. Some men don't really know how to use chivalry & there are women who just wants to be nasty & just want their men to do terrible things. I'm only directing this to the chivalry part of living for everything that's good. Some people thinks of males as toys & some thinks of females as their own property. -___- We all know what happened with the women in the past since they didn't have certain rights.

 

...And what happened when women didn't have civil rights, Brandon?

 

Let's see... back in the day, women wasn't able to vote, women was sometimes was accused as witches, sometimes was stoned to death, cannot do any other jobs except teaching, being a mother, or be a nurse. Those are examples of one. Women wasn't able to fight in the war long ago too. Lost their freedom on that part. Wasn't chivalry was used in those country dances or something? I can't remember. Anyways, I don't have anything else about chivalry freedom, but about using chivalry to never abandon a friend, well... that can be hard.
